"Written with elegance and sensitivity, RIOT is a remarkable tale about violence and hope in a land that has known both; it confirms Shashi Tharoor as a major voice in contemporary literature."

- Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate
 
"A gripping tale through which Shashi Tharoor encapsulates the problems facing present-day India...RIOT is his best achievement. It is of contemporary importance, unbiased, beautifully crafted and written. If I had my way, I would make it compulsory reading for all hate-mongers....A novel of historical and moral significance."
- Khushwant Singh, The Telegraph
 
"Riot is the struggle of Shashi Tharoor against his history-scarred homeland, whose passions and pathology are constantly challenging his conscience... Tharoor The Great Indian Novelist... stages a comeback worthy of celebration ... at the centre of a moment in the payback passage of history."
- India Today
